The state has revoked the license of a Prairie du Chien residential care center for children and adolescents after a child was seriously injured there in June.

The state Department of Children and Families sent a letter September 20th notifying the Wyalusing Academy that its license was being revoked.

The letter says that Wyalusing Academy “failed to ensure the health, safety and welfare of children in its care” when a child was “severely injured” after a June 24th incident at the center, then did not seek outside medical attention for “more than 24 hours” after.

The center’s executive director Mary Beth Specht says it looks forward to meeting with the state to discuss how the facility can continue to operate.
